Ex-Prosecutor’s Book Accuses Bush of Murder
Source: NYT

As a Los Angeles county prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi batted a thousand in murder cases: 21 trials, 21 convictions, including the Charles Manson case in 1971.
Skip to next paragraph

As an author, Mr. Bugliosi has written three No. 1 best sellers and won three Edgar Allan Poe awards, the top honor for crime writers. More than 30 years ago he co-wrote the best seller “Helter Skelter,” about the Manson case.

So Mr. Bugliosi could be forgiven for perhaps thinking that a new book would generate considerable interest, among reviewers and on the broadcast talk-show circuit.

But if he thought that, he would have been mistaken: his latest, a polemic with the provocative title “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder,” has risen to best-seller status with nary a peep from the usual outlets that help sell books: cable television and book reviews in major daily newspapers.

Internet advertising has been abundant, but ABC Radio refused to accept an advertisement for the book during the Don Imus show, said Roger Cooper, the publisher of Vanguard Press, which put out the book.

ABC Radio did not respond to a request for comment.

2. The MSM is no friend of Freedom, or of America, for that matter
they are beholden only to those who sign their paychecks.

7. Already bought it - I'm coming up on Chapter 3.
Heck, I'd have bought it just for the title, but I like the way Bugliosi writes. It was displayed very prominently in several places in our local bookstore. I intend to go back and get his one about JFK.

8. Oh, that makes it clear as mud to me. So this article is
'NBC Universal to buy The Weather Channel for $3.5B' in the latest breaking isn't business, it's latest breaking news.

15. Books been out for a month - hardly late breaking.
But it is selling word of mouth and I believe was not published by a US company. So I would file under business as an example of grass roots sales.

21. OK, the book had been out for a month, this article talks
about the MSM ignoring the author and not inviting him for interviews on this book as had been the case with his other books.

Honestly, I don't see how an original title and posted on the day article was published would have had to be moved. :shrug:
